The Doppler effect can be heard particularly clearly when a train passes by. The presence of the same effect in the generalised telegraph equation indicates the wave nature of heat transport over ...

Waves in water are transverse. This means that the vibrations causing the waves are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. As this little boat demonstrates, you can see that the waves are ...

Wave speed is a measure of how quickly the wave travels from its source. Its value is the same as the distance covered by a wave in one second. Speed is measured in metres per second \(m\,s^{-1}\) and ...

What Is A Periodic Wave? A periodic wave is a wave with a repeating continuous pattern which determines its wavelength and frequency. It is characterized by the amplitude, a period and a frequency.
